India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy
Jasprit Bumrah is India's find of 2017

#3 Jasprit Bumrah

Australia v India - Game 1
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best death bowlers in the world today

Widely considered the best death bowler in the world today Jasprit Bumrah is perhaps the most improved bowler in the last two years. Ever since his debut for India in 2016, in Australia, he has become his side's go-to bowler in the shorter format of the game. Armed with a peculiar action and a very accurate yorker, his variations ensure that batsmen find it very difficult to deal with him.

He picked up 38 wickets in 22 matches this year at an impressive average of 25.92. His best performance of the year came against Sri Lanka when he picked up career-best figures of 5/27.
